Evolution
TEF Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The show is over
The curtain fall
Our children may resent us
But the damage is done
And they pay the toll
In mother nature′s court room
Who is the jury and who is the judge
If we're sentenced to life
We can′t hold a grudge
Or is it just evolution
The stronger linger on
Reaching out for a new home
Beyond the Sun, beyond the sun
The year ahead may scare us
And we think of our children
And their children too
We wonder if the careless
If the things like that
Bout their children too
If old Charles D could speak still
I don't know what he
What he would have said
Maybe he wouldn't be angry
Maybe not even a little bit sad
Cause we can′t tell if bad things
Might make us go
Where no man has been
Beyond the sky,behind the moon
Is where we′ll find our kin
Or is is just evolution
The strong reach out
Beyond the Sun,beyond the sun
Beyond the Sun,beyond the sun
In "Evolution," TEF reflects on humanity's impact on the environment and the uncertainty of our future. The lyrics suggest that we are the last generation to witness the beauty of nature, as our negligence towards the environment will be inherited by our children and the generations to come. TEF wonders who will be the judge and jury in Mother Nature's courtroom, hinting at our inability to control the consequences of our actions.
The lyrics further suggest a Darwinian perspective, that only the strong will survive and the weaker will fall. TEF asks whether it's just evolution or something beyond our control that's driving us towards the unknown future. However, he remains optimistic that our kin will find a new home beyond the sun or even behind the moon, suggesting that we may find a way to overcome our challenges and come out stronger.
"Evolution" is a beautiful and thought-provoking song that highlights our responsibility towards the environment and our future. Through introspective and poetic lyrics, TEF encourages us to reflect on the consequences of our actions and think beyond ourselves.

We are the last ones
We are the final generation
The show is over
The human race has exhausted its time
The curtain fall
The end is near
Our children may resent us
The future generation might hate us
But the damage is done
The harm is already caused
And they pay the toll
The future generation bears the consequences
In mother nature′s courtroom
The planet earth is the court
Who is the jury and who is the judge
The roles of decision-makers are ambiguous
Only one thing is certain
The only certainty is that life goes on
If we're sentenced to life
If we continue to exist
We can′t hold a grudge
We can't blame anyone
Or is it just evolution
Is it the natural process of evolution?
The stronger linger on
Only the fittest survive
Reaching out for a new home
Looking for a new place to live
Beyond the Sun, beyond the sun
Far away from earth, maybe in the stars
The year ahead may scare us
The future might be a cause of concern
And we think of our children
We worry about our offspring
And their children too
Even their children's future is uncertain
We wonder if the careless
We question the reckless
If the things like that
If this is how things continue
Bout their children too
What will happen to their future generation?
If old Charles D could speak still
If Charles Darwin was alive
I don't know what he
It's hard to speculate
What he would have said
What his opinion would have been
Maybe he wouldn't be angry
Maybe he would have accepted it
Maybe not even a little bit sad
Maybe it didn't affect him emotionally
Cause we can't tell if bad things
We can't predict the consequences of our actions
Might make us go
Might lead us to
Where no man has been
Unchartered territories of space
Beyond the sky, behind the moon
In the depths of space
Is where we'll find our kin
Where we might find other forms of life
Or is it just evolution
Or is it a part of natural evolution?
The strong reach out
Only the fittest species roam the cosmos
Beyond the Sun, beyond the sun
Although beyond human reach, we still aspire to reach there
